Sunshine go away todayI don't feel much like dancin'Some man's come he's trying to run my lifeDon't know what he's askin'When he tells me I better get in lineCan't hear what he's sayin'When I grow up, I'm gonna make it mineThese ain't dues I been payin'

How much does it costI'll buy itThe time is all we've lostI'll try itHe can't even run his own lifeI'll be damned if he'll run mine, sunshine

Sunshine, go away todayI don't feel much like dancin'Some man's come he's trying to run my lifeDon't know what he's askin'Working starts to make me wonder whereFruits of what I do are goin'When he says in love and war all is fairHe's got cards he ain't showin'

How much does it costI'll buy itThe time is all we've lost,I'll try itHe can't even run his own lifeI'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine

Sunshine, come on back another dayI promise you I'll be singin'This old world, she's gonna turn aroundBrand new bells will be ringin'
